Tomorrow is Valentine’s day. Yes, tomorrow. As such, the culinary club at school decided to host a bake sale today and tomorrow. We made Rice Krispie treats and cake pops. For quite some time I’d heard that making cake pops was rather difficult. Today, I found out otherwise.
Red velvet cake covered in dark chocolate, and chocolate cake covered in white chocolate.
Go ahead and bake whatever type of cake you fancy and let it cool completely. Crumble the cake up into tiny bits and add butter cream frosting. Then form it into whatever size balls you want {Helpful hint: if you have a portion scoop, that will help you get a consistent size}, insert the popsicle sticks about half way in, and put them on a parchment paper lined sheet tray and into the freezer until fully frozen.
Melt a bunch of chocolate {if using milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate, add a bit of vegetable oil; if using white chocolate, add a bit of shortening; this will allow the chocolate to set and harden} and dunk the cake pops in it, and place them back on the parchment paper (while the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles or nuts or whatever you want on them), and return them to the freezer.
Pull them from the freezer once the chocolate has set and enjoy.
